The Adventures of Tom Sawyer [平裝] (湯姆‧索亞歷險記)

內容簡介

Sparkling with mischief, jumping with youthful adventure, Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer is one of the most splendid re-creations of childhood in all of literature. It is a lighthearted romp, full of humor and warmth. It shares with its sequel, Huckleberry Finn, not only a set of unforgettable characters--Tom, Huck, Aunt Polly and others--but a profound understanding of humanity as well. Through such hilarious scenes as the famous fence-whitewashing incident, Twain gives a portrait--perceptive yet tender--of a humanity rendered foolish by his own aspirations and obsessions. Written as much for adults as for young boys and girls, Tom Sawyer is the work of a master storyteller performing in his shirt sleeves, using his best talents to everyone's delight.

　　《湯姆‧索亞歷險記》是馬克‧吐溫最優秀的童話作品之一，寫於1976年。故事記述了主人公湯姆‧索亞因反對死板嚴格的家庭生活，厭煩學校裡枯燥乏味的功課，所以才離家出走，和他的小夥伴哈克貝利‧芬一道去冒險。他夢想著有朝一日能成為統帥眾強盜的首領。社會的種種弊病和黑暗的現實、虛偽的宗教、庸人的市民，這一切都隨著湯姆‧索亞的歷險過程一一展現，故事情節起伏跌宕，扣人心弦。馬克‧吐溫對兒童心理的觀察精細入微，描寫合情合理。這是一本帶人經歷童年、淨化心靈的傑作，自問世以來，一直受到廣大讀者喜愛。
